We must endure to the end indeed . But i know i am saved . Cause my trust is in HE who did the saving my friend .Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Enduring till the end is the only way to know if you are saved. Scripturally.
Moreover,
Acts 11:15-16
And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
acts 2:38-41
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 41Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto themabout three thousand souls.
there is no need for a water baptism for remission of sins only when you have been baptized by the word of God then shall you become a new man.
But you are correct . We must endure to the end . My question to you is , if you dont think you are saved
then where is your trust . Faith in He whom GOD did send . For ye are saved by grace . Faith in Christ .
Hold that confidence firm to the end . And if one is a hearer only , yeah they do deceive themselves .
Those who have the SPIRIT , know the Spirit works in them and gives them both the desire to do of his will
and the ability to do so . As i once said , I cant give myself one ounce of credit . BUT I SURE CAN GIVE CHRIST all the GLORY .
And on that note , its time to leap up and praise the LORD . But yes , endure to the end .
